[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 85061"] Re: the comment about the neuropsychologist being medication happy, neuropsychologists can't prescribe medications. They are PhD's not MD's. That comment may have been regarding a neuropsychiatrist and I'm not sure what the difference is. Most, if not all, of the parents here that have used this specialty have used a neuropsychologist. My daughter's therapist (an MSW - Master's in Social Work) was the first person to recommend a neuropsychologist to me. She wasn't our first therapist, by far. She saw the issues with my daughter and she was right according to the neuropsychologist findings. The neuropsychologist isolated the specific areas of strengths and weaknesses and recommended interventions and treatment. As far as how long it took...she started seeing a therapist at age 5. We didn't have definitive answers until age 11. Until then, it was a lot of guessing. by the way, welcome to the board! If you're unsure of any abbreviations and don't find them on the FAQ board, just ask (for example, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is Autism Spectrum Disorder).
